THE town’s hub for live events, Melksham Assembly Hall, is gearing up for a busy April. From a craft fair to the ‘ultimate tribute to Meat Loaf’ and from story of the Carpenters at a tribute to Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons, there’s an eclectic line-up coming up.
Craft Fair – Saturday 6th April, 10.30am to 2.30pm

The Carpenters – Masquerade – Friday 12th April, 7.30pm
The show will take the audience through a story of the Carpenters, performed by top musicians.
Organisers said, “Come with us through various points of Karen’s life, from the origins of the Dick Carpenter trio through to Karen’s premature passing. Sit back, relax and celebrate with us the legacy that is the Carpenters.”
Meat Loud – Saturday 13th April, 7.30pm
This show has been branded the ultimate tribute to Meat Loaf and Jim Steinman and will include a performance of the album Bat Out of Hell in its entirety, as well as songs from other Meat Loaf albums.
Meat Loud was founded in 2015 by vocalist Andy Plimmer along with the band from The Rocky Horror Experience. They cover many of the songs from the Meat Loaf Back catalogue as well as some of the Steinman classics by Bonnie Tyler, Celine Dion and Cher. The second half of the show is a complete performance of the 1977 classic album Bat Out of Hell.
The New Jersey Boys – Thursday 25th April, 7.30pm
The tribute to Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons returns. The choreographed show features the falsetto voice of Einar Vestman and the humour of entertainer Gary Gould.
Organisers said, “Back by overwhelming public demand, this hit show continues to play to sell-out audiences and standing ovations throughout the United Kingdom. The evening guarantees an evening of fast-moving entertainment with superb harmonies, stunning solo spots and light comedy.
“As well as all the hits from the Four Seasons, the packed two-set programme includes tributes to other legendary performers such as Elton John, Freddie Mercury and Tina Turner.”
